EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a breathtaking view of Ripon Cathedral in England, as seen across the water and footbridge. The cathedral, steeped in history, has its roots dating back to 672 AD, making it one of the earliest stone buildings erected in the Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Northumbria. The site was once home to a monastery, which was a daughter house of Melrose Abbey in Scotland. Saint Wilfrid, a prominent figure during this era, replaced the previous timber church on the site with a new one in the Roman style. The crypt of the cathedral, which can be seen in this image, dates back to this period. The serene waters reflecting the grandeur of the cathedral add to the tranquility and spirituality of the scene. The image, captured around the turn of the 20th century, offers a glimpse into the rich history and architectural beauty of Ripon Cathedral.
